General Adjustment:
Move pots in both the X and Y axis directions closer to the starting (0,0) pot position (see figure). This will effectively shrink the potting area.
The boundaries (large spaces) separating different species groups will thus be moved closer to the (0,0) position in the y-axis direction.
Distance Between Pots:
Adjust the distance between pots from the current 2 feet center to 1 foot.5 feet on pot center (+/- 2 inches).
Ensure Ensuring all pots are moved uniformly by to 1 foot to maintain .5 foot centers will create consistent travel distances for the camera along the x-axis.
Special Considerations for Large Plants:
For large plants, such as Browntop Millet in MD:
Move pots to 1.5 foot centers closer as instructed.
Thin out overlapping plants afterward by cleaning removing plants that are too large.
